1t is now ascertained why Powell, the
Democratic candidate for Governor. is
making SO much fuss about the message
of Governor Foraker to better equalize
aud collect the taxes of ths State. For
the pas! twelve years, the taxes on his
property in Delaware have been lodged
and be has enjoyed the prOLectiou, TIE
well-improved streets and the security
and comfort afforded by a good munich
pal government at the expense of bis
neighbors, without paying cent of
their cost. He has been beating his
way, leaving the honest people of his
town to bear the burdens. In bis speech
at Cleveland, in reply to some structures
made by Mr.. Powell upon the tax mes
sage of the Governor, Mr.. Foraker said
that the message was intended to bring
about legislation whjct, would catch just
such tax dodgers As Mr.. Powell, who
had not paid taxes on his property at

ANALYZING THE BAKING POW
DERS

IANALYZING THE BAKING POW
DERS.
Under the direction Of the New York
State Board of Health, eighty four diff
fereut kinds of baking powders. mbrac.
ling all the brands that could be found
for sale in the State, were submitted to
examination and analysis by Prof. G. +
Chandler, Member of the State Board
and President of the New York City
Board of Health, assisted by Prof Ed
ward q. Love, the well known United
States Government chemist.
The official report shows that a large
lumber of the powders examined were
ound e. contain alum or lime; many of
hem to such an extent as 10 render
hem seriously Objectionable for use In
he preparation OF human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine sans
les. This drug is employed in baking
Iowders to cheaper their cost. The
Tese0ce of lime is attributed 10 the i'm
pure cream of tartar of commerce used
il their manufacture. Such cream of
trtar was also analyzed, and found to
ontain lime and other Impurities; in
SINE samples to the extent of 50 per
ent. of their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the market,
With the single exception of Royal mot
Including the alum and phosphate pow>
drs, which were long since discarded
az unsafe or inefficient by prudent
husekeepers) are made from the im>
,ire cream of tartar of commerce, and
onse quently contain lime to a CORE
bonding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by
csmical analysis to be entirely free
f,m lime and al 80 utely pure is the
loyal" This perfect purity results
frm the exclusive use of cream of tar
tai specially refined and prepared by |
paent processes which totally remove |
th, tartrate of lime aud other impuri-
tls The cost of this chemically pure
cram of tartar is much greater than |
4y other and on account of this greater |
cst is used in no baking powder but

in Colerain, S2.27O in Flushing, S4,39l
10 Smith, S24.653 in Somerset, S2.2S9 il
Union, and S452 In Washington.
The aggregate net gain to the dupli

about the amount our able Auditor suf-
fered to escape taxation last year, and
compelled other taxpayers to make up
the loss.

READERS of The CHRONICLE will re-
member that on various occasions last
summer we asserted that Democratic
management of the Auditors office had
resulted in heavy losses to the tax dur
plicate. Comparisons were made with
the tax duplicates of 1928, and it was
shown that. leaving out the growth OF
corporations, the personal returns were
less than fifteen years ago.

A CYCLONsR's LIE EXPLODED


From The Wheeling Intelligencer, Oct. 20.
The st. Clairsville Gazette of this week
makes a cowardly effort, under the
guise of a pretended communication, to
iujure Mr.. A. L. Mckelyey, one of the
Republican candidates for the Leg
islature, by means of false charge pur-
p0sely withheld until thus late in the
campaign In the hope that it could not
be effectually denied in time to reach
the masses of the voters. This commu-
nicaton is given in full below:
REFERRED FOR ANSWER TO THE CHRONICLE.
Ma. EDITOR:
To settle bet, will you please state in
your next issue if the A. T. McKelvey now a
candidate for Representative On the Republi-
can ticket is the sa,ne A. T. McKelyey who
went into Wheeling Garing Ehe strike of the
telegraph operators and so ably assisted the
monopoly Western Union Telegraph Company
to resist the strike? ANTI RAT.
BELLAIRE, O., Oct. Is.
Yesterday Mr.. John K. Wier. of Bell
aire, we'll known mailer Of Beliaire.
late President of the United Nailers Of
the country, Inquired of the truth of
this charge of the manager of the West
ern Union Of1lce here, Mr.. y. IL. Tracy,
aud received the following reply, which
ought to set the faisehood at rest
J. X. WEIR. ESQ. Bellaire, Ohio:
MY DEAR SIR:-In reply to your favor
Of this morning, beg leave to say that
was iu charge Of thee Western Union
telegraph Office in this city at the time
of the strike of our operators in 1888,
and assure you that the charge that
A Z. McKelvey went into Wheeling
during the strike and ably assisted the
Western Union to resist the strike" is
false in every particular. Mr.. Nickel
yey was not in any way connected with
the Western UHion telegraph Office 10
this city-had nothing to do with the
strike directly or Indirectly, nor do |
believe he was even in the city during
the continuance of the strike. The
whole thing is lie out of whole cloth d.
1t is shame shat mau can't come be-
fore the people for any kind of public
position without being misrepresented
and abused. G. X. TRACY,
Manager W. U. Telegraph Company.

Hon. E. B. WAsHBURNE died at bis
home, in Chicago. at O'Clock Saturday,
of congestion of the heart and brain.
Mr.. Washburne was typical Ameri-
can. Born in humble life, he became a
printers apprentice, and went from the
case to the law. His parents were of
Puritan and Revolutionary stock. Mr
Washburne was one of seven brothers,
two of whom became Governors, four
have been in Congress. and one was a
Major General of volunteers in the war
of the rebellion. Elihu represented the
Galena, Ills, district, Israel, Jr, the
Portland, Maine, district, and C.. G. a
Wisconsin district at the same time.
Mr. Washburne entered upon public
lie life 81 years ago. 10 those years
history was made at rapid rate. 1t
was period calling forth the best that
was III men. aud also the worst. Qnes-
uons came rapidly forward for discus
sion aud decision, the influence of which
will be felt while the world lasts. To
have been a prominent actor in such
times implies / character OF more than
ordinary strength.
During the war of the rebellion Mr.
Washburn occupied poSitio3 of COM
mandIng influence in Congress. and
while unnumbered millions were being
expended became known ''as the
watch dog of the treasury" He was d
close friend of President Lincoln, and ii
staunch supporter of Grant, and during
the glOUmy weeks that succeeded ShI-
loh it was Washbnrne who sustained
and upheld him against the jealousies
of Halleck and others aud the clamor of
newspapers.
Upon the accession of Grant to the
Presidency Mr.. Washburne was made
Secretary of State, aud soon after Min
lister to France. During the Franco.
German war his position was an ex-
ceedingly delicate one. The archives of
the German embassy were turned over
to him, and he secured the safe trans
port alton through the French lines of
the 80 900 German residents of Paris,
and the liberation of all who had been
imprisoned on account of the war Du-
rino the horrors of the Commune he
was Ia Only foreign Minister that re-
maiGod in Paris, and became the pro
teclOr OF the subjects OF vaTiOas nations,
which later shoWered decorations and
other acknU Wledgements upon him.
He will be buried at Galena. Ills, to-
day. alongside his wife, wbJ died few
months ago.

The vote of the county last year oS
Clerk of the Supreme court. which prob
ably nearest represents the party vote,
was-Republiean, 5S23; Democratic,

The truth is the so-called Democrats
have not had majority of the votes OF
this county for many years. and none
of their candidates have been elected
within a half dozen years except by
fraud, false pretenses, or the downright
purchase of votes.

THE MEETING AT THE RINK

IN The evening was an inspiration. Mr..
E. J. Hoyle presided. WiGlin the walls

that splendid audience, and found it so
thoroughly en- rappart with the speaker,

occasion and spoke an hour with un-
wonted power and eloquence, sur
passing his speech at st. Clairs>

drums beat no community responded
with gre ater enthusiasm than Martins

battle flashed in their eyes, and re-
sponded more eloquently TO the senti-
ment than the tornado of cheers and

were fully and ably discussed, during
which the Senator answered cleYerly
the absurd objections made to his vote
upon the tariff of 1888, and his ruling
